No. 42 "ection System Reform When the winter quarter examina tions are done, the more popular balmy period will be ushered in with the usual attention on spring styles, baseball prospects, and local politics with special emphasis on the latter item. Soon the secret ambitions and best laid plans of campus 'climbers will take expression in the forming of groups and machines designed to capture a winning number of votes. Men who have been silent all year will suddenly blossom forth with a cheering smile for everyone and a manifest willingness to do anything that will bring them before the pub lic eye. " It is a great game, especially as it is played here at Carolina. Every body enjoys it and plays it directly or indirectly. I he coming spring promises to offer more than the av erage share of excitement, intrigue, and close ballot battles. There are more students than ever, more offi ces to aspire for, greater competi tion, and deeper interest. The system of conducting elec tions at Carolina, however, has been slipshod and farcial for the past five years. There have been faint heart ed efforts at election reform, but these, attempts have been ineffectual and short lived. No clear cut. sys tematic method of conducting the an nual elections has yet been devised. This year with the increase of stu dent government problems and an added interest in student body af fairs plainly apparent, definite changes must be wrought in our pres ent unorganized election system, and it is none too early for serious thought along this direction. One of the remedies for the gen eral looseness in the management of elections, suggested by a leading ex ecutive student organization, is to have all the elections held on one day, with one long ballot. .The plan suggests that some picked group of men have general control of the elections, set the dates, arrange for the counting of ballots and placing of ballot boxes, and safeguard against shady political methods. While this plan is only a bare outline as yet, it has infinite possibilities and is an ex cellent foundation on which to build an orderly election system. Ever since ballot boxes were in troduced in the University, there has been no controlling board. Each or ganization announced the date for its particular election, placed anyone who was willing to preside at the ballot boxes and count the votes, with the ivsuiting evils of stuffed ballot box es, careless voting, and general dis satisfaction. Last year balloting was held spasmodically from the early part of April until late in May, un til the campus became weary and dis gusted with the long drawn out af fair. Statistics show that the last election in May drew on'y a few hun dred votes,- a very poor representa tion of campus opinion. Only friends of the candidates voted with the re sult that an unintelligent vote was cast and several undeserving men ob tained office. If all voting was confined to one big day when candidates for presi dency of student body,' athletic asso ciation offices, class offices, publica tions, Y. M. C. A., etc. would he vot ed on, there would be sure to be greater interest than ever. And greater interest spells a larger vote, and a larger vote a more intelligent selection of campus officers. The whole business would be disposed of in two days at the most, and thus a great saving in time and efficiency wculd be accomplished. If the nom inations and balloting of all the va rious elections could not be adequate ly managed in one day, it is quite possible that classes could be sus pended until the furore of elections was over. Certainly such a day would be lively enough to warrant a holiday. Elections will seize the stage of ac tivities within a few weeks. The above plan will probably be present ed to the campus for approval in the near future, and it is of import ance to every student to give the project his careful consideration. THE WILDERNESS BY J. OSLER BAILEY HEELEU CONTEST You will pardon us if we refer to the weather; but the cerebum of even a Colyumist does not always scintil late, and a conversation must be be gun. After all, the weather has tan talized us a good deal lately, and per haps deserves a sideward glance. Our Sophomore friend remarked, as he wiped a snowball out of his eye, that he had yearned for the snow, but now he had it he wished it was in, say, Hellas. Thus it is, we are all habitually dissatisfied with the climate; so might it not be wise to agitate a movement to abolish the weather completely, with the excep tion, say, of moonlight nights in Spring or early Summer. Speaking of Spring, it is approach ing, in spite of our belated snow storm, and Easter, glory be, is the i next stop! The Lady-of-Experience who was to conduct the "Love and Beauty" Colyum for the Tar Heel has decided to postpone the initial article in her valuable series until after exams. In the meantime, she suggests that all the dear boys and girte who are love-and-beauty-lorn mail letters tell all about their problems to her in a plain wrapper, addressing Mile. Lulu Leume, Box 771, Chapel Hill. All Registration Begins Monday, March 17th All men registering here for the first time will consult Doctor Lawson in the gymnasium, and all women will consult Mrs. M. II. Stacey in her office in the Library. All students except Freshmen and Sophomores must re.'ister during the ;xan:ination period at the close of the winter quarter. This applies to students in the Graduate School, the Professional Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy and all under-srraduates except Freshmen and Sophomores. Freshmen and Sophomores will complete their registration in Mem orial Hall on Saturday, March 22nd., between the hours 9:00 A. M. and 5:00 P. M.

We ed purely on the ability and energy shown during the contest. The nature of the contest is to instruct the candidates in college ' called r""1--"1"'1 "win. wj giving iiiein uen- nite assignments under the supervis ion of regular members of the staff. The work of each candidate will be carefully checked up by the manag ing editor who will issue assignments and give instructions as to how they should be carried out. When a can didate begins to show a natural api tude for newspaper work, he will be given fuller reign and heavier assign ments. The contest will not require an unreasonable amount of time, but it will demand steady and consist ent work. Freshmen and Sophomores especi ally are urged to come out for the annual contest. Since no courses in journalism are being offered by the University this year, Tar Heel work offers the only training available in this field. One course academic cred it is given the regular members ot the Tar Heel staff. The official an nouncement of the contest will ba an nounced in the next issue of the Tar Heel which will appear tha Tuesday after examinations. MOTOR TOURS INTO CANADA ANNOUNCED vote "Aye," because the Bible has some little something to say about the American version of this business Civilization, and for other reasons. A recent writer in the Tar Heel wanted an agitation started for the inclusion of the Koran, the Fables of Confucious, and the Vedas in the Bible Course. Allow us to suggest that we also want the Cultural De velopment of the Oranee Free Stato. the Political History of Greenland, and the Influence of the Banana on the Descent of Man. If such a course is not sufficiently extraneous to accomodate everyone by this time, let us include a section in the Mountain Dialects of Afghan istan. Piffle! With exams, hard on us, we lightly kiss our finger tips to all of you, de lightful readers, and wish for you the merriest of luck. Young people in this section will be interested in the announcement, made by H. P. Sanborn, football and basketball coach at Asheville School, that motor camping tours will ba con ducted this summer through the Nor thern States into the wilds of Cana da. The tours will ooen a new mpt.hnH of summer activity, which will in clude travel, education and recreation. At present trips are being planned through the valley of Virginia and up through the Susquehanna Trail to Niagra Falls and Canada, returning through the Whits Mountains and New England resorts to New York, Atlantic City and Washington, Mr. Sanborn says. Featuring these trips is a camp ing period of two weeks in the wilds pf Canada, where fishing, hunting and canoeing are to be enjoyed under the supervision of Indian guides of the Hudson Bay Company. As these trips allow lengthy stops at the mountains and beaches, many attractions are offered of which the present day camp does not permit. Coaches are being specially built for the operators of the tours. Dr. D. T. Carr is out of town this week end attending the Southern As sociation of Dentists, which is. being held in Atlanta. He, together with several other dentists from surround ing towns, left Wednesday afternoon for the mid-winter meeting of- the association, in which all the southern states will be represented. Dr. Carr will return Sunday and be back in his office as usual on Monday morn ing. .
